- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- The untreated left eyes of all rabbits were free of evidence of ocular irritation and other findings for the duration of the study.
All three ocular structures were affected by instillation of the test item. Findings included hemorrhages, blanching, corneal epithelia damage (peeling).
Irritation was less in the washed group. Also, some limited evidence of recovery was present in the washed group. Based on the data obtained, the test material is considered to cause irreversible effects to the eye. - Other effects:
- There were no deaths during the study period. None of the rabbits vocalized upon instillation of the test material.
Slight body weight losses were observed for three rabbits. These losses were possibly stress-related due to the severe irritation observed. No other remarkable body weight changes were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In this study, Di-C12-18 alkyldimethyl ammonium chloride (100% a.i.) caused irreversible effects to the eyes.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study according to Environmental Protection Agency FIFRA (11/82) and TSCA (8/82) guidelines 0.1 mL of Di-C12-18 alkyldimethyl ammonium chloride (100% a.i.) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 6 female New Zealand White rabbits. In one group of three, the eyes were washed with 120 milliliters of lukewarm tap water commencing approximately 30 seconds after dosing; in the remaining three animals the eyes were not washed. The left eyes were manipulated in an identical manner, including washing, if applicable, to simulate the dosing of the right eyes. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
All three ocular structures were affected by instillation of the test item. Irritation was less in the washed group. Also, some limited evidence of recovery was present in the washed group. In the group without rinsing after instillation, corneal opacity scores ranged from 2 to 3. Iris scores up to 2 were observed. Corneal redness scores of 2-3 and chemosis scores of 3 – 4 were observed. The effects were not reversible within the observation period of 7 days. Additionally, effects like blanching, corneal epithelial damage, and fluorescein retention were observed.
Based on the data obtained, the test material is considered to cause irreversible effects to the eye.
